Palo Corona Regional Park

The best place to run in Carmel. Quiet, peaceful, rustic, great views, fun animal surprises, expansive. You can put together a run anywhere from 3-10 miles with the trails that wrap around this park. Best to go before sunset when the sun is golden, makes the cows quite majestic. You can only enter from one side and last time I visited a lot of trails were closed.

We had a great time exploring this park for the first time last week. We went on a cloudy weekday which was great because we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We decided to hike up the mountain to Inspiration Point then continued onto the Animas Pond via the Talus trail. On the way, you go through an enchanting forest consisting of Coast Live Oaks. At Inspiration Point you get nice views of the Carmel coast. Going to the end of the trail at the pond you pass by some interesting bean plants which I'm still trying to figure out exactly what they were. Overall, a really nice park!

Wonderful location with beautiful views. A myriad of trails and some easy and flat. Beautiful sweeping landscape and amazing sunsets. Great for bird watching too, and dog friendly yet must be on leashes.

Awesome trail for everyone, With nice views to carmel by the sea

Palo Corona Regional Park is a great park to go hiking or simply walk. The first part of the park is an old abandoned golf course which has slowly been reclaimed by nature with the Carmel River flowing by, and old cart/walking paths and nice scenery. The other half of the park is mostly preserve/ranch land with dirt trails over a large area of rolling hills, and a fire road type trail which clumps up a hill to Inspiration Point which offers incredible views of the Carmel region on a clear day. Well worth a visit to go hiking and explore for families to experts.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the walk. The view. Thus melds soul love flowers smelling grasses to trees H³! Always a walk hone thy Wyle Sigh Digg it!!! Picnic area: Tables everywhere... just gotta go grow the distance... see seek how'd seas hear row within or without doubt! This. Is. True Nature! WOW !

This park is a gem if you like to walk, hear birds, and be near a river. Lots of walking trails and ample parking. Best yet- its free. Carmel Valley is lucky to have a park like this.

This is the most pristine regional park I have ever been to. The park is so well kept, plenty of parking spaces and so widely spread out. The oak knoll trail is a must see. I like the fact that they offer so many different trails for you to explore.

Awesome trail running. One of my favorite spots. Depending on the routes you choose, terrain can be very hilly.

Beautiful park. Plenty of parking. Most importantly, they have real bathrooms that are clean. Plenty of trails to go explore. Restrooms: Very clean
